The diagonally opposed recesses 9 and i() ere communicating whiie the diagonally op- 2e: posed recesses 5 and 6 are noncomrnun'icetying. The rear portion'of the recess 10 forms' pocket let 'when the ring is closed which is Q nonconnnu'niosting with the recess 9. f l sin aware that 'it lies heretofore been T,proposed in the patent to empbeli No., 1,132,762, to form e piston ring with two diagonally opposite projections on one end. or seid ring which form two diagonali opv posite noncommunicating recesses, wit vthe 3Q juxtaposed ends of the ring formed in the seine manner, and the two projections are substantially the seme length et' each end of the ring. My present invention is clearly clierentisted from the Campbell patent, aforesaid, siri'ce in my invention the die oneiiy opposed recesses onone end of t e vrin f' are noncominuniceting, While the iagoneiy opposed recesses on the juxtaposed .end of the ring ere interoommunicsting. if vthe fse-4 cesses ere noncommnniceting etfeeohenrl of the ringi'then it would* Vbe impossible to close the rui v '.becense i'the projections on one enel of t e ring ere joined' together by any msterielfiio metter how small in seetion, es shown', for exemple, iat-13, in Figure 8, in order to ineke the recesses 5 and 6 nonc-ornmuniceting, then the projections 8. and il must loe sepa-rated equal tothe ernennt 5G et nieteriel A13, in order to permit the projections Si. endl-xl. to 'be seatedin the recesses '5 enti-e'.
